After reading these reviews I really wonder how MS actually expects to gain market shares outside of the US. Most of these Apps are either not available outside of the US or only available in a hugely inferior version. I read through the available apps for Germany over the next months and they're a complete joke. I need none of these, I've better stuff on my Smartphone, much better stuff! If stuff like HBO wouldbe available for streaming (with some sort of monthly fee, like in the US), that would be a selling point, but we even have to pay for some free TV stations that I could just access with one click on my tv remote. Why would I do that?

There is almost nothing that'd make someone outside the US want to buy a XBO over a PS4 unfortunately. And if the consoles fails too hard outside of America it might hurt them badly. So they better step up their App game or this gen might be over really soon with their focus on multimedia, while delivering jack shit for most of the world. And don't get me started on us paying the same or even more for Live, while getting less.
